Steamship.
New York, January 3l.--At 5 o'clock
this afternoon the steamship Guayan'
dotte sailed from her pier in this city for
Norfolk. When off Long Branch an ex'
plosion occurred in The after part of the
saloon by which Captain Kelly and
Jamea Justine were slightly injured.
The explosion is believed to have been
some dynamite packed in a satchel that
had been left in the closet room. The
steamer at once put about and arrived at
her dock OF 1890 tonight.
The Guayandotte left with o mixed
cargo, though only partly loaded. She
carried five saloon and fifteen steerage
passengers with crew Of forty-two per-
sons. 1t was discovered that hole
about fifteen feet square had been
caused by the explosion through the
main and hurricane decks and much
damage mas been done in the saloon and
to outside joiner work on the main
deck. The cabin was filed with splin.
ters of timber. The vessel was not
much injured, but the captain deemed
her in no condition to continue the vOy-
age and he put back. A stranger was
seen hurrying from the closet where the
explosion occurred few moments be.
fore she sailed. He was about 35 years
old feet 8 inches high, and carried o
satchel when first seen, but had none
when he left the ship.
Capt. Kelly will see no one tonight.
No person has been permitted ON board,
and the pier is guarded by police.

SACRAMENTO, January 3l.-The first
business in the Senate this afternoon was
the consideration of Roses concurrent
resolution relative to the withdrawal of
government timber land from sale. Yell,
OF Mendocino, opposed it. He said il
would operate to raise the price of tim
Der land and give large timber owners
monopoly to the detrinent of small set
tiers who desire to obtain l60 acres.
Rose stated that the purpose of the
measure Was to protect the forestry OF
the State.
Haynes. of Humboldt. opposed it,
saying the Lumber trade is the chief in
dustry of his constituency.
Jones, of Butte, said the effect of the
resolution might be advantageous to
Southern California, but would have the
opposite eject on his portion of the
State. The matter then went over as o
special order until Wednesday.
The bill to encourage tree planting in
forest firm was taken up and the 22d of
February fixed for Arbor day. The
amount OF the appropriation for awards
TO those who planted trees was fixed at
$1,000, and the bill passed to the third
reading.
Crandall introduced a constitutional
amendment dividing the State into nine
Judicial Districts and providing for o
District Court of Appeals for each, con-
sisting of one District Judge who shall
preside and two Superior Judges to be
designated by the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. District Judges are to
be elected ia each district and are to

Fearful of War.

BERLIN, January 3l.-The com mittee
of the National Liberal party have
issued q manifesto to the electors.
They say. "Never since the Franco.
German war has the danger Of great
conflict been so near. No statesman
can form any certain conclusion as to
the future, even for few weeks. The
peace of Europe rests at this moment
solely upon the strength, readiness for
action and moral trustworthiness of the
German army. The National Liberals
are confident that the voice of universal
suffrage will pronounce right decision.
An unpropitious issue of the election
will bring down upon the country war
with all it's terrors.
The Post (semi.officiaD in leading
article headed Goa the Edge of the
Knife, says: "The position of General
Boulanger is now not only strengthened
but is becoming unassailable.

what He Thinks oS tho European
War Situation.

New YORK, January 30.--Hon.
George II. Pendleton, United States
Minister to Germany, weo arrived here
by the steamer Scala yesterday. was
seen by reporter to-day. Pendleton
was asked as to his views Of the possi-
bility of war in Europe, and the general
feeling in regard to it in tho German
capital. He replied that he had been on
the ocean for nearly two weeks, hence
was not informed as to the recent devel.
opments in the matter, and since he
landed, Mr. Pendleton had not been
able to catch up on the views. ''The
situation" he remarked. "when- left
Berlin was very much strained. The
powers of Europe from general inse-
curity have been making immense pre-
parations. There are tremendous mill
tary works and armaments on every side.
| heard Won Mollse say that it was
condition of affairs that must have
solution. 1t may have changed since
then. The Reichstag was dissolved on
the question of the Military Bill on the
Friday before left Berlin, There was
nothing new before sailed" Mr.. Pen.
dleton said that he could not see that
any one IN Germany desired war. In
fact every effort was being made to
avoid il. The old emperor was ex.
tremely anxious to have peace during
his time. Bismarck was not ready for
war now. lie would not be ready until
the Military Bill had been passed and
the army organized. ''In fact" added
Bismarck would accord heartily with
any proposition for peace with honor.
The Emperor will in short time
celebrate his Doth birthday. Bismarck
is seventy.two, nearly as old. Both
wish for peace. Tho middle classes are
not anxious for war as the burden will
fall heavily on them. There are, how.
ever, certain classes in all countries
whose condition would be advanced by
war, but the great mass Of the people
desire peace. Their opinions count for
nothing, Won Mol,ke, Bismarck and two
or three others settle such matters. 10
France General Boulanger leads. One
peculiar thing would strike the Ameri-
cans in Europe; that is how little people
influence the policy OF the rulers. MIR.
Pendleton then spoke at some length of
the struggles in the Reichstag over the
bill providing for an increase
of $1,000 men for the army,
for period OF seven years; of its advo.
cacy by Bismarck; the refusal of the
Rel ,hstag to grant it for more than three
years, and of the imme diate dissolution
of that body, practically as the story
was told at the time from day to day in
the Associated Press dispatches. Pen.
dleton concluded with the remark that
it was impossible to tell what the result
might be. Every thing depends on the
decision of the Chancellor.

THE GREAT PROPHET.
Brig n n m Young Resurrected by
u Reporters lnag

CHICAGO, January 3l.-A Chicago
Tribune special from Lincoln, Neb.,
says: Two miles south of this city
stands palatial residence owned by al
English gentleman long since identified
with the Mormon church. The resi-
dence has been untenanted for the last
two years save by an old servant man
named White, who at one time was
connected with the Jezrels of London, q
sect sin liar to the Morncns. He says;
"Two months ago there arrived at the
mansion an old gentleman bearing letters
from my master in London, the purport
of which was to obey his every wish
and to keep his presence secret to all
except those whom he saw bit to receive.
Within week persons began to arrive
at the house. They were from Salt
Lake and held long whispered consulta-
tions with my mysterious guest. Soon
after the truth burst upon me that he
was none other than Brigham Young,
the great prophet of our church, who is
to be- apparently resurrected from the
dead and preach to the people of Zion
as one having returned from the grave,
to tell what lies behind. That his death
ana burial were only deception will
soon be seen by the whole world.

WAsHINoroN, january 3l.-The act
ion taken by Messrs. Belmont, Clements
and Rice, subcommittee of the Com.
mittee on Foreign Affairs on the fisheries
question, is understood to be as follows.
A majority of tho subcommittee felt
that whatever course was taken,by the
House should bs taken in view of the
gravity of the interests involvedj. not
only with the knowledge, but with the
full assent and active concurrence of the
Administration. They, therefore, de-.
termined to forward copies of thesEd-
munds joint resolution as passed by the
Senate. the German retaliatofy bill as
introduced insO the Senate, and the
Belmont retaliatory bill as reported by
the Foreign Affairs committee, to both

ming. Secretary Manning is specifically
asked for an expression of his views and
preference on the bills submitted. as
bearing upon the interests committed by
law to his supervision; and both the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Seq
rotary of State are asked to suggest any
modification which may seem desirable
to them in either meas nre. The earliest
possible reply is solicited. There is an
unauthorized whisper to the effect that
one reason for this course has been the
fact that the recent action of the Senate
on certain privileged questions has been
resented by the Administration ds hav
ing been taken in violation of long es-
tablished usage rs to consultation with
the State Department, and the House
committee determined to stand right on
the record in this regard.
